They’ve had to wait longer than anyone after Vegas and the opening-round bye but the Tigers finally hit the turf on Saturday against a Raiders side firing after a first-up win.
Xavier Savage scored one of the easiest tries he will ever get in the NRL just before half-time.Seb Kris took the tap and started to drift in-field when he spotted Jayden Sullivan in no man’s land, stepped back out and passed to an unmarked Savage.
TV commentators were not complimentary of Sullivan, with Steve Roach labelling it a “soft try”, a and Mick Ennis calling the passage of play “embarrassing”.Benji will not be happy with that. It pumped the brakes on any momentum the Tigers started to gain.Raiders lead 24-12.
